Our brand new Maker’s Lab space merges a traditional workshop with state of the art emerging technologies such as 3D printing, CNC machining, and laser cutting so students can fabricate and actualize the products of their imagination.
The complexity of our students’ educational future will require them to move beyond traditional paradigms of learning. It is our goal to provide students with multiple tools and technologies to help them navigate and tackle this future.
The STA ADST department focuses on the key areas of computational thinking, digital literacy, robotics, and coding.
